- Convention Centre
- Public transport - buses
- The Wizard

- Rubbish collection
- Council should not get too involved in social services
- Funding for commercial venues
- A lot of the bumps (to slow down traffic) in the roads
are unnecessary
- The money that's going to be spent helping refugees - I
think that it should be central government money
- I don't think there should be buses after 10pm - they are
usually empty
- Should keep out of social welfare
- Parking tickets & meters
- Should not be into straight subsidy situations. That
should be catered for by the government. Is it fair that
property owners should finance social policy? ie poll tax
situation
- Should spend money on infrastructure first and any left
over on other things
- Library
- Politically, the council shouldn't be supporting refugees
- Funds too many concerts
- Job training for unemployed - are they education
providers?
- Getting involved in social welfare issues and immigration
issues - eg supporting Somalian families into houses and
jobs
- Job creation schemes and social services which central
government should pay for
- All this welfare rubbish - this million for helping all
the poor, that million for something else
- Putting up a new convention centre at considerable
expense to the ratepayers and is a damned eyesore. Who's
going to use the thing - not the ratepayer
- Rubbish removal. Parks/gardens
- Charity schemes eg. Supplementary assistance that should
be provided by the government
- Rest of town should be upgraded before money spent on
Christchurch square
- Town hall
- Buses - should be user pays

go to? We feel it's quite expensive yet we don't know
where the money goes

the gondola

utilised
- Parks less managed
- Do not get involved in development. eg trams, casino etc
- Social spending - it's a government responsibility

go over the top eg Aynsley Terrace planting

- Social welfare issues
- Summertimes. Owning shares in companies outside our area
- Too much is being spent on all the planning for the
square changes
- Social services
- Social issues and subsidies
- $1m for social services. The ratepayers should not be
responsible for social services

of cars in parks. Too many car parks in parks
- Become too involved in services that could be contracted
out
- Believe they are going too far into social things
- Don't think they should lean towards welfare
- Getting into social area - rather they didn't. Should be
Social Welfare Department
- It isn't necessary to have a bus coming up Kennedy's Bush
Road four times a day
- Commercial enterprises that are really more a private
enterprise ie Conference Centre, New Brighton Pier
- The council should not provide funds for providing
employment for young people within the council structure
as it will put some people out of work
- Too cosmetic. Gone too far trying to attract tourists
- Roading
- Don't like free entrance for tourists to museum/art
gallery
- Parking meters and wardens

money should be used more wisely

workplace
- I don't know why they are spending a lot of money in the
square when a lot of streets need doing up
- The Cathedral Square should not be renovated until it is
cleaned up. Ruffians, hooligans and food stalls removed
before any beautifying starts
- Don't waste money putting in cobblestone corners
- Some of the social services that are the responsibilities
of parents and government
- Supporting refugees eg Somalis - that's a central
government job

services
